Muchos de nosotros nos hemos hecho a la idea de que en el universo sólo hay 4 dimensiones, pero ¿cómo es posible imaginar la décima? El proyecto “Imagining the Tenth Dimension” muestra de una manera sencilla las 10 dimensiones que se tendrían si se parte de la idea que el tiempo es solo una de las direcciones en el espacio de la cuarta dimensión, y que nuestro universo espacio-tiempo es creado en cada instante de acuerdo a cómo giremos en las posibles direcciones de la quinta dimensión. Para mucha gente, esta “nueva manera de pensar acerca del espacio y el tiempo” les ha hecho cambiar la manera en la que perciben la realidad. Muy interesante….

The Evolution of Advertising & Public Relations
I just saw an interesting diagram posted by Todd Defren at PR-squared that shows the evolution of advertising vs. public relations in this Social Media era. “As you can see, PR is becoming increasingly interpersonal: there is a daily flow of interaction, responsiveness and adaptation going on amongst PR people and their ever-expanding publics. […] Meanwhile, the advertising folks are coming to embrace more and more user-generated content, but as PAID media (versus EARNED media). Advertising’s intrinsic, long-term value to the corporate brand is declining in the Social Media era. And the PR industry is the happy beneficiary.” The diagram is really insightful and yes, I agree with Todd, but the counterpart of this is that nowadays in Latin America (for example), there are no agencies that can advice corporations on a complete Digital PR strategy. Of course, you will find the traditional PR agencies that will offer some kind of “exercises” Seguir leyendo

Ambas novelas, si bien están clasificadas como ciencia ficción, incluyen pasajes que valen mucho la pena. Haciendo un poco de investigación descubrí otro libro que estoy por leer: The Elephant Vanishes, que es una colección de cuentos cortos, de donde llama mi atención “On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning“, que precisamente habla del amor a primera vista, el destino y aquello de “si es tuyo déjalo ir… y si regresa bla bla bla….” Acá el cuento, que me encontré publicado en carbon ink: On Seeing the 100% Perfect Girl One Beautiful April Morning by Haruki Murakami One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.
